Power Button and POWER LED

The power button is located on the left side of the front panel (see Figure 5). You can use the power button to power the Services Router on and off. When you power on the router, the Routing Engine boots as the power supply completes its startup sequence.

The POWER LED is located to the left of the power button on the front panel. Table 7 describes the POWER LED.

After the router is powered on, status indicators—such as LEDs on the front panel and show chassis command output—can take up to 60 seconds to indicate that the power supply is functioning normally. Ignore error indicators that appear during the first 60 seconds.

If you need to power off the router after the Routing Engine finishes booting, use the J-Web interface or the CLI to halt the Services Router first. For instructions, see the J-series Services Router Administration Guide.

To power off a Services Router, you can shut it down in one of the following ways:

• Graceful shutdown—Press and release the power button. The router begins gracefully shutting down the operating system and then powers itself off.
• Immediate shutdown—Press the power button and hold it for more than 5 seconds. The router immediately powers itself off without shutting down the operating system.
